SH Carpentry & Construction Limited

I asked Shane if he would help with renovating part of our house which is about 200 years old. The works required damp proofing of walls, replastering walls and replacing old lathe and plaster ceilings with new plasterboard, new electrics with additional wiring to improve sockets and lighting etc, replacement of old timber lintels, change of design to fireplace etc. New plumbing and insulation. Basically a project which involves pretty much all the trades. Shane gave really good advice and helped with ideas and made us feel that we were leaving a very daunting job in capable hands. Between the SHCC team they planned and managed all the trades (including some that we hired in) and turned the job round in a good time considering what was involved. They managed a lot of decision changes that we made throughout the job and the end result far surpassed our expectation. We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship and finish and although it was renovating existing parts of the house it feels like a completing new house. We got regular updates on when and what work was being don so nothing was unexpected to us and the whole job ran smoothly with minimal interruption to our family of four living in the house whilst the work was being done. We are now planning on using SHCC again for the next stage of our house project.

Came back really quickly and had tiles back on in less than a week. Reasonable price.

Very high quality of work, and well organised despite needing several different tradespeople. Shane’s a good project manager. The guys also left the house clean and tidy.

Very good standard of work. Clean and tidy during and after the work was executed. Highly recommend Shane and his team.

SH Carpentry & Construction were easy to communicate with - the original contact was by e-mail, following by a very swift and helpful response. The inspection visit, prior to the estimate, was arranged at a very busy period for the firm, and was undertaken in a thorough and entirely professional manner with helpful suggestions as to sequencing of the work and other matters (e.g. choice of paint colour). The estimate was clear and reasonable for the type of work to be undertaken, and part of the work was undertaken by Shane, who is in overall charge of the company, on an early evening, after finishing work, in order to enable the subsequent stages of the work to be undertaken more swiftly. All the work was carried out entirely professionally and to a very high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. Peter L

I highly recommend Shane and his team. Works completed: - an initial visit to prepare our house for some damp work. - substantial work in the loft strengthening beams and installing fire walls. - construction of several bespoke wooden built-in cabinets and a shelf on site and some other minor works to improve what our previous builders had left unfinished. Quality of work: Fantastic. We are particularly delighted with the carpentry works, which were measured and constructed on site and so fit perfectly. We are also pleased with the other works. Professional approach: Fantastic. Arrived promptly and worked non-stop all day! Did the carpentry etc. outside to avoid getting dust in the house and removed all materials afterwards and tidied up. Really polite and helpful in advising on how to complete the works and costs etc. They are also flexible on time, visited us on two Saturdays to get the work finished quickly for us, and have suggested some evening visits to complete some further work. Communication: Excellent. Responsive on emails, kept us updated, checked throughout the work to ensure it was exactly as we wanted. Cost: The invoice was exactly what we had agreed in advance. They are not a budget company, but the quality of work is excellent and worth paying for. Overall: We would highly recommend SH Carpentry and Construction and have already engaged them to do some more work.

Shane and his team Carried out building work and fitted a new kitchen All the work was completed to a high standard And all trades involved were friendly, professional and competent. We would not hesitate to recommend SH Carpentry.

The house had a number of issues, including a failing chimney stack, some rising damp and leaking guttering and down-pipe. We were recommended to contact Shane, whose company justified the recommendation. He responded promptly to a request for a site meeting during which he advised on the most appropriate way of addressing the various issues. This was followed quickly by an estimate for the works, which works he was able to commence quickly. The chimney stack received attention first and was soon stable and safe. Externally Shane's team also replaced the guttering and down-pipe, including additional work to solve an unexpected problem. Finally clearing a small area adjoining the house front around the external air-bricks. The planned date for remedial works to the internal damp initially set by us was delayed by a decision to relocate the mains electricity supply, but Shane was happy to accommodate the date change to meet our requirements. Shane's team carried out the external works required by the electricity company to enable that company's operatives to carry out the relocation, in such a way that one of those operatives expressed gratitude for the quality of the work as it had made their job easier. Shane's team then, in cooperation with the damp proofing company, completed the necessary plaster removal and re-plastering internally, leaving us a smooth clean area ready for decoration in due course. Shane and his team were professional and easy to deal with throughout.

Shane and his team were absolutely first class in completing a building project in Banbury. I rent this commercial building to a restauranteur and because I don't live in Banbury I was so fortunate to be introduced to Shane. Not only was the project completed to the highest possible standard I was also very pleased with the communication between Shane and myself throughout the process. I will be recommending SH Carpentry & Construction Ltd to all my friends and colleagues. Furthermore I have an extension at the same location awaiting planning permission and have engaged Shane to build this for me.
